Avoid spring breakers and the loud, drunken crowds while still getting an all-inclusive package by staying at a resort that offers it all but stays under the radar.

LAKE AUSTIN RESORT AND SPA

Austin, Texas

Located about 40 minutes outside of downtown Austin but feels like it’s a world away. It’s surrounded by the protected Balcones Canyonlands Preserve and sits on Lake Austin, which makes the resort super tranquil and relaxing.

RANCH AT ROCK CREEK

Philipsburg, Mont.

The ranch offers a slice of the Western life without sacrificing luxury. Everyone who stays here goes glamping in high-end cabins or tents — and wakes up to a not-so-typical day at a ranch: A pool (in summer), lots of time on the ski slopes, and farm-to-table meals.
